# Event Details

- **Event Name**: City of Andover Tree Lighting: An Outdoor Winter Celebration
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The 2025 Tree Lighting Event is scheduled for Friday, December 5th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with the official tree lighting countdown at 7:00 PM.

In addition to our traditional offerings of s'mores, hot chocolate, and cider, this year's program will feature:

•	An appearance by Santa and Mrs. Claus.
•	Participation from local groups, including Andover High School and Andover Fire Department mascots, members of the National Honor Society, and the Andover Lions Leo's Club.
•	Food trucks will also be available, details will be shared as they become available. White Rabbit food truck will be there!

We are excited to partner with the Andover Fire Department, which will hold its annual Toys for Joys toy and non-perishable food drive at the ceremony. To facilitate donations, we will offer a drive-through drop-off option for those who wish to donate without staying for the event.

A significant update this year is the committee’s decision to transplant a permanent tree for the ceremony. A Colorado Blue Spruce was relocated from the back of Hawkridge Park, where it was being crowded by surrounding trees. This new location will allow the tree to flourish to its full potential, serving as a beautiful centerpiece for our community celebration for generations. Blue Spruces like this can grow over 60 feet and live up to 200 years and it will be well cared for by our Public Works Staff.

Join us, Friday, December 5, 2025!!
